Come up with a real good rash, get documentation from your primary and work it from there. I hope things work out Melissa.

I agree, talk with your primary (hopefully they are on your side). He/she can document the issues with your arms and hopefully refer you to PS.

OMG Melissa.........I just looked at your stats again! You are really working this out. I am so proud of you. My arms don't look so swift, but I don't care....I hate that stupid "love roll" I got going.

I have really been having bad back pain do you think that it could be because my arms are so heavy and the rest of my body is shrinking so much it seems to be pulling on my upper middle back has anyone ever heard of this?
